Massive Demonstration - Congressman Faso's Office - Saturday 2/25 at 2pm
On Saturday February 25 at 2:00
there will be another district-wide protest at
Congressman John Faso’s Kinderhook office
2 Hudson Street in Kinderhook, NY.
Resistance Recess
During the week of February 20-25, all Congressman will be on recess in their home districts. It is the perfect time to hold town hall meetings and to brief constituents on how they are being represented. Unfortunately, Congressman Faso has repeatedly refused to do this and has scheduled multiple high-ticket campaign fundraisers instead.
Consequently, since the Congressman will not hold the time honored connection with voters, people from the district will be taking their concerns about the Affordable Care Act (ACA), Planned Parenthood, the environment, immigration and jobs directly to him in front of Faso’s hometown office. These are really non partisan issues and affect everyone in District 19. It’s time for Congressman Faso to do his job.
The protest is being led by Move On, Our Revolution, Indivisible CD-19 NY and being supported by many other Indivisible and Resistance groups from throughout the 11 counties of the 19th Congressional District.
The last demonstration had nearly 2000 people attend. So please come out and show Congressman Faso that we are watching and will not be silent in fighting Trump and the Republican's agenda.
The Resistance Needs You!

Keep Up the Pressure on Congressman John Faso
Congressman John Faso is still refusing to hold Town Hall meetings in his district.
The House of Representatives takes a recess for members to go back to their districts and meet with voters. In the past when Kirsten Gillibrand held this Congressional seat, she created many opportunities for constituents to meet with her. Her "Congress on Your Corner" events which she held at local grocery stores, became a model which is now used by numerous responsible and engaged members of Congress. Congressmember (now Senator) Gillibrand also published her schedule, so her constituents could see who she was meeting with and when and where those meetings would take place.
But Congressmember Faso refuses to set up Town Hall meetings in the district. Of course he isn't unique. Many Republican members of Congress are either not holding meetings, or ducking out of them early. All to avoid hearing people's anger at what the Republicans in Congress lead by Donald Trump are doing to healthcare, immigrants, women, school children and the environment.
People have been calling members of Congress in record numbers (see this article in the Daily Freeman). Our persistence is working. People have also been visiting district offices as well. We must keep up the pressure on John Faso and he needs to know that the people are watching him and they demand to be able to meet with him face to face at local Town Hall meetings.
Tell John Faso that he MUST hold Town Hall meetings with his constituents locally. He has proposed Tele-Town Hall meetings which will be tightly controlled and will not be a open exchange of ideas. Tele-Town Hall meetings are not acceptable.
